FIXED: EA Sports have responded to a potential game-breaking glitch within FIFA Ultimate Team

FIFA bosses hope they've fixed a glitch in the game that led to fans demanding a boycott.

EA Sports have release an update for the annual football title that they hope addresses problems with the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) multiplayer section of the game.

Xbox and PlayStation fans were left claiming they'd been 'cheated' in flagship online matches because of issues around the handicapping of excellent players when they're facing off against more regular joes.

Gamers took to the web claiming there's a "chemisty glitch".

Players buy cards to get access to better players in the game.

By playing cards in particular positions you can increase your team's chemistry stats.

High chemistry can boost the stats of players. A low chemistry can affect them.

It's so important, keen gamers spend money on it in the hope they'll get the edge over a pal online in a match.

But players had become convinced some expensive upgraded cards are actually knocking down their player stats instead of boosting them.

And the team is left feeling "sluggish, slow to react and clumsy".

A video by one player showcasing the issue hit the web, sparking outrage.
